Wonder Guard (Japanese: ふしぎなまもり Mysterious Protection) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. It is the signature Ability of Shedinja.
Effect
In battle
Wonder Guard makes the user immune to damaging moves that are not super effective.
It does not prevent confusion damage. It does not affect status moves, such as Tail Whip or Poison Powder. It does not prevent any indirect damage, such as from burn, weather, recoil, and entry hazards.
Wonder Guard does not affect Struggle. Prior to Generation V, Wonder Guard does not affect Beat Up, Future Sight, or Doom Desire. In Generation IV only, Wonder Guard does not affect Fire Fang, due to a presumed glitch.
Role Play fails if the target has the Ability Wonder Guard. Skill Swap fails if either Pokémon has Wonder Guard. Wonder Guard cannot be copied by Power of Alchemy or Receiver. Wonder Guard can be bypassed by a Pokémon with Mold Breaker, Teravolt, or Turboblaze. It can also be bypassed by the moves Moongeist Beam and Sunsteel Strike.
